Hi,
I have previously received some help when I had researched to R-Z645 via Cladefinder. FTDNA recently gave me not just R-Z93, but R-Z2124. (This seems to be a haplogroup common in Russia (Bashkortostan and Karachai) and Poland.)
This was a little surprising as my paternal line is recorded to Sweden ~1700s.
On IllustrativeDNA I do have small Viking Age and Medieval Rus, Estonian, and Polish associations, as well as very small Turkic associations with the Nogai perhaps via a Mordvin immigrant to Sweden. These associations come and go, but I accept them as trace and legitimate.
There are quite a few unknowns in one half of the Swedish branch. And my Russian matches on GEDMatch span about every western ethnic group. Slightly relevant that I do not have any known Russian ancestry.
By DNAChron I can also see I have two mutations that are associated with R-Z2125 and R-YP1540 which is a Kyrgyzstan haplogroup, and a far subclade of R-Z2124/5. And a mutation for R-Z6405, which is also a subclade of R-Z2124/5.
Would you exclude any of the above theories? That the haplogroup is possibly Russian or Turkic origin? Sintasha in origin? Would you draw any other conclusions?
This may be the subclade I ever receive, since testing Big-Y is not necessarily on the list, so having the possibilities would be very beneficial.
Finally, on FTDNA I searched long my matches' relevant haplogroups. One match at R-Z93 is Egyptian/Saudi. And one match at R-Z94 is Swedish. There seems to be a Saudi subclade of R-Z2124 and so this may be a "false positive."
Thank you
